Chapter 865: Director and Actor
"Ha!" Chen Qiuyue heard the student's words, smiled and patted Xiao Yao and said, "Can you guess the arrangement behind the program team, and some of us can guess why you came to this show! It seems that you are not the only smart person! Our rookie actors are also very smart!"
"I can lie to her and say no!" Xiao Yao glanced at Chen Qiuyue helplessly, "You said so, how else can I play?"
"Ha~ That's me!" the student said with a smile.
"I'm really here to be a stage director. Xiao Yao nodded and said to the students in front of him, "There are six stage plays this time, and there are six directors, and I am just one of them." According to the normal flow of the show, it should be after all the actors of your crew are confirmed, and then the director will come out to meet with the actors of each crew and guide you in rehearsals. Because I was more idle and picky today, I came to eat in advance. From the morning until just now, I have been observing you in the observation room. ”
"Which stage show are you in charge of, senior?" asked another student.
"Guess?" Xiao Yao smiled, "What I can tell you is that I am in charge of that stage play, and I wrote the script! Which script do you think seems to have come from my hand?"
"'0:01 a.m.'?"
"The Magic Watch?"
""The stuntman?"
The students speculated.
"I won't reveal it now," Xiao Yao said with a noncommittal smile, "You'll know when the time comes!"
"Wow~" the students shrugged dissatisfiedly.
"Do you know who the other five directors are?" another student asked, seemingly trying to judge which script was Xiao Yao's from the director's style.
"I don't know," Xiao Yao shook his head and said with a smile, "But I guess, no matter what the level of business, it should not be as good as me in popularity and popularity!"
"Wow~" The students booed again.
"Okay," Xiao Yao looked at Ke Jun and the others, "The matter here is settled, shouldn't we go back?
"Hmm," Ke Jun nodded, and said to the students, "Come on, everyone, we will continue to keep an eye on you in the observation room!"
After saying goodbye to the students in the waiting area, Ke Jun and the other four returned to the observation room. As soon as the four of them entered the observation room, they found Meng Yafang, the chief director of the program, sitting in the observation room waiting for them.
"Director Meng!" the four of them greeted each other, and Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Director Meng, you didn't come to Xingshi to ask about the crime, right?"
"What kind of crime do you ask?" Jin Wenbo said puzzled.
"I'm sorry for the possible follow-up arrangements of the program team that I revealed to the students in advance, and the possible interference caused to the filming process of the program!" Xiao Yao bowed slightly to Meng Yafang.
"Ha, do you know that you're scared now?" Chen Qiuyue said with a smile.
"The main reason is that those girls are crying too much, and Teacher Ke and the seniors are also very hard to persuade me, I really can't stand it!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"You can't stand it?" Chen Qiuyue glanced at Xiao Yao.
"Your reason is so good, I just want to blame you, it's not easy to say, right?" Meng Yafang smiled helplessly.
"Are you really here for this?" said Chen Qiuyue.
"That's not it!" Meng Yafang shook her head, "A variety show is not a TV series, although we have a script process, but there is no detailed script, and the guests are allowed to have a certain amount of free play." Although what Xiao Yao did was not what we asked him to do, we also didn't explicitly tell him that he couldn't do it, so we don't have a position to blame him!"
"That's right," Ke Jun nodded with a smile, "If it is really all according to the script designed by the program team, then this variety show will not be interesting." ”
"I'm here to find Teacher Ke!" Meng Yafang looked at Ke Jun and said, "I didn't tell you about the follow-up arrangements before, but now that the interview is almost over, it's almost time to tell you." Xiao Yao guessed correctly, those actors who didn't get the role will still play the role in the end, but there is no interview process. Our arrangement is that after the interview, which crew actors are not full, and they will take turns to pick among the actors who have no roles in the order of the ranking of Class A students, and you still need to preside over this matter, Mr. Ke!"
"This is Xiao Yao's more reliable way to guess!" Chen Qiuyue said, "I really let Xiao Yao guess correctly!"
"Teacher Ke also said just now, except for what I said, there is no better arrangement!" Xiao Yao smiled, "Let Teacher Ke guess, you can guess it." He just didn't guess!"
"Okay, okay, don't want to take the responsibility on me, I just followed what you said!" Ke Jun smiled and waved his hand to Xiao Yao, and then said to Meng Yafang, "I know Director Meng, I'll go over after the interview in a while!"
"Okay, then it's hard Teacher Ke!" Meng Yafang smiled, "Don't bother you, you continue!"
After sending Meng Yafang away, the four of them sat back in front of the screen again and continued to watch the interview in several rooms.
The afternoon auditions have basically reached the end stage, and the cast lists of each crew have been quickly decided.
"Ah, Xiao Yao, all the roles of your crew have been selected, and they are full!" Seeing that the cast list of Xiao Yao's crew was all filled, Ke Jun turned his head and smiled at Xiao Yao.
"It's not strange!" Chen Qiuyue picked out one of the several scripts in front of her and said as she flipped through it, " Xiao Yao's script is the least obvious one between the protagonist and the supporting role in all six scripts, and it is almost impossible to tell who is the protagonist and who is the supporting role, it is a large group play, and each role has something outstanding, so there are many actors who are ranked high in their respective classes who have applied for interviews for the roles in this script, and the roles applied for are still relatively scattered, and there are people applying for each role, so it is not surprising that they can all be selected. ”
"Eh, I remember that the movie "Donkey Gets Water" that you are currently releasing is also this kind of group drama, there is not much difference between the roles of the protagonist and the supporting role, or is there a group of protagonists, right?" Ke Jun looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Are you particularly good at writing this kind of group drama?" Or do you like to write group dramas during this time?"
"I'm not particularly good at it or like it. Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled, "It's just that I don't write this kind of group drama, how can Teacher Ke and Senior Sister help me advertise my movie so tacitly and naturally?"
"Now that you've mentioned my films. Xiao Yao got up and bowed to a camera lens in the observation room, "The movie "Donkey Gets Water" is currently in theaters, please come to the theater to support, thank you!"
"Hey!" Ke Jun and Chen Qiuyue shouted in unison.
"Okay, okay, no kidding!" Xiao Yao sat down and said, "It doesn't matter if you're good at it or not, whether you like it or not." In this show, the rookie actors are all here to learn and show themselves, and there is no difference between the leading role and the supporting role, so in this stage performance, I want to try my best to let every actor in my group have the opportunity to express themselves and have a special shining moment on the stage. ”
"Sounds so official!" Jin Wenbo laughed.
"Although it sounds official, I have to admit that it is really well said!" Ke Jun smiled and applauded.
Jin Wenbo and Chen Qiuyue also followed Ke Jun and applauded Xiao Yao.
"It's over!" Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hand, "It's rare to say such a serious thing, I will be embarrassed if you look like this!"
"Teacher Xiao Yao, your crew and actors have all been decided, and Director Meng said that you can go to the interview room to meet them now. The on-site director in the observation room said to Xiao Yao.
"Ah, now, it's not time yet, right?" Xiao Yao looked at the time on his phone, "The other directors haven't come yet, right?"
"Director Meng said it's okay!" said the on-site director, "Your crew and actors have been selected, and you are also here, so go over first, and several crews don't care about this interval." ”
"Okay!" Xiao Yao said to Ke Jun and the others, "Then I'll go first!" he said, getting up and walking towards the door of the observation room.
"Wait!" Chen Qiuyue shouted.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yao asked, turning around.
Chen Qiuyue picked up a script on the table and raised it: "You forgot to bring the script!"
"No, it's all here!" Xiao Yao smiled and pointed to his temple.
"Have you memorized the entire script?" Chen Qiuyue said in surprise.
Xiao Yao didn't answer, smiled and waved his hand, and turned to leave.
"Can he really memorize such a thick script without any mistakes?" Chen Qiuyue asked Ke Jundao.
"People can memorize a thousand words a minute, and the videos of the Shen Opera Art Examination in previous years are available!" Jin Wenbo said with a smile, "This script was written by himself, so it's not strange that he can remember it, right?"
"But that kind of short-term quick memorization during the exam is not the same thing as memorizing such a thick script completely!" Chen Qiuyue said, "He wants to guide the students in rehearsals, not to tell a story, but to pick out the details." I haven't seen him turn over this script since I met him today, can he really remember it so clearly and firmly?"
"Don't the students still have the script in their hands?" Jin Wenbo said, "and he didn't say that he was not allowed to read the script in the students' hands." ”
"I haven't seen him filming, nor have I seen him direct," Ke Jun said with a smile, "But I've heard our colleagues in the station say that when he participated in "Singer", he really only spent about ten minutes watching the script to host the script, and when he participated in "Sound Immersion", he didn't take a line book when he entered the dubbing room! His memory is really good, but it's not who asked the program team to arrange a character for him!"
"Then isn't it like he's playing with the script and reciting lines?" Chen Qiuyue threw the script in her hand on the table, hugged her arms and sighed, "Alas, people are better than people, it's really infuriating!"
"Why do you want to compare with him?" Ke Jun smiled and comforted, "Xiao Yao, this kind of demon, how many years has it been since there was one, you compare with him, aren't you making yourself angry?"
"Yes," Chen Qiuyue thought about it, and felt much more comfortable, "Anyway, he is an actor, and I won't have any competitive relationship with him, there's nothing to compare, just watching immortals at that time." ”
"Hearing you say that, I really seem to have a sense of crisis!" Jin Wenbo said with a wry smile.
"It's okay, everyone is a director, don't compete with him for roles in the future, just go to the crew where he is the director and act!" Chen Qiuyue smiled and patted Jin Wenbodao.
Xiao Yao came to the interview area, found the interview room of his crew, gently pushed the door open and walked in.
Inside the room, six people were in a circle, looking down at the script, discussing something while reading, and when Xiao Yao went in, he was not discovered at the first time.
"Ahem!" Xiao Yao could only cough lightly, attracting the attention of the six people.
"Huh?" the six heard the voice and looked up in the direction of the door from which it came.
"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Yao!" Xiao Yao saw the six people looking over, smiled and waved to greet.
"Xiao Yao?" all six of them showed surprised expressions.
The rules of this interview are that the candidates for each role enter the interview room together for an interview, and several candidates can intuitively see the performance of their competitors. When Xiao Yao appeared in the waiting area just now, although the interview in this room had not yet ended, the interview for the last role was already underway. After the interview was completed, the six people got together to discuss the script, no one came out of the room, and those people in the waiting area did not notify Xiao Yao from one room to another, so the six people in this room neither saw Xiao Yao nor knew that Xiao Yao was coming to the show.
"I am the director of your play, and I will work with you on the rehearsals of this play, and I will be responsible for directing your performance. Xiao Yao continued, "By the way, I wrote this book!"
"Wow~Xiao Yao!" The six people seemed to be sure that the person who came in was Xiao Yao, and stood up in surprise.
"Yay~" The six of them hugged each other excitedly and celebrated, and suddenly a student seemed to remember something, and bowed to Xiao Yao and said, "Good director!"
"Hello director!" The other five people also reacted and said hello to Xiao Yao.
"Don't be so restrained, let's be casual, let's sit down and talk for a while!" Xiao Yao waved his hand, walked in front of the six people, and sat down on the ground.
This interview room is actually a classroom and rehearsal room prepared by the program team for the students, not to mention the wooden floor on the ground, and a layer of gray carpet, whether you sit or lie down, there is no problem. Now there is only one desk and two chairs in the classroom, so Xiao Yao chose to sit directly on the ground.
When the six people saw Xiao Yao sit down, they all sat down with him, and automatically formed a circle with Xiao Yao.
"There's no need to introduce yourself," Xiao Yao said first, "You are already familiar with each other, I have watched the previous show, and I know the six of you, I think you should all know me, you don't need me to introduce yourself, right?"
"Of course I do!"
"No!" the six laughed.
"Okay, that's question time first. Xiao Yao said, "If you have any doubts or questions, you can ask them first, and I will try to answer them." ”
"Senior, no, director," one of the students said, "The program team really asked you to be the director of the stage play for us?"
"It seems that the title of my senior is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!" Xiao Yao smiled, "In the time outside of rehearsals, you still call me senior! Although some of you are older than me, there should be no earlier than my debut." ”
"As for your question," Xiao Yao looked at the student who asked the question, "I'm already sitting here, you don't think that the program team invited me to chat with you, right?"
"Huh~" someone laughed softly.
"Or do you think I'm too young and have some doubts about my qualifications as a stage director?" Xiao Yao continued.
"No, no!" all six of them hurriedly waved their hands.
"You directed and acted in a short film a few years ago, and you were a director the year before last and made the movie "Parkour Boy", and you have been a director for a long time, how can we question your qualifications as a director?" said one student.
"Also, I heard that you made another "Donkey Gets Water" last year, which will be released soon. Another student added, "Actors like Teacher He Ying have all filmed under your guidance, and it must be more than enough to guide a few of us." ”
"Alas," Xiao Yao sighed and said to the student who spoke in the back, "When this episode of the show was broadcast, my play had already been released, so you should say that the "Donkey Gets Water" you filmed is now being released. I wanted to thank you for helping me advertise and promote, but when you said that, the teacher could only cut it out in the later stage, and this paragraph was just said in vain. ”
"Huh?" said the student.
"Huh, ha~" The other students were also stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed.
"Director, I'll say it again! Cameraman, please give me a close-up!" the student also reacted and said to the film crew in the room.
"Ha~"
"Lin Kaijie, you're too fake!"
"It's so shameless!"
The other students laughed and accused.
"Okay, okay," Xiao Yao waved his hand, making everyone laugh before continuing, "You are all actors, you should have heard of such a sentence, movies are the art of directors, TV series are the art of screenwriters, and drama is the art of actors." Your stage play is also a drama, so you actors are the most important. As for me as a director, it's not that important. ”
"No, no!" the students shook their heads and waved their hands.
"We love to hear what you said, senior, but the last sentence is purely modest. The student named Lin Kaijie said.
"Of course it's modest!" Xiao Yao glared, "Who really thinks that the work they do is not important?"
"Ha~" The students laughed again.
